Catching Up on the Action at Universal Studios Singapore

Hollywood Dreams Parade

'"Let's do it again," exclaimed my friend Astrid right after alighting her seat. "Come on, guys! Let's do it again!!!" "I just need a moment," I said to her. If only I had an out-of-this-world olfactory perception, I would probably smell adrenaline all over the place and a good fraction of it would be reeking from Astrid, who couldn't help but urge us to do it all over again. We were coming out of the Cylon Ride, one of the two Battlestar Galactica rollercoasters at Universal Studios Singapore. "Tell you what," said I, "Let's try Human next and then I'll see if I could ride this Cylon thing again." I couldn't. By the end of that minute aboard that frakkin' Human ride, everything … [Read more...]

Becoming a Kid Again at Sentosa, Singapore

Quarter-life crisis. I guess it's starting to kick in. Almost every night since my 25th birthday I would just lie in my bed at night and think about my childhood. When I close my eyes, I try to relive the days when I would just spread my arms wide open and pretend to fly. I try to remember the day when I first rode a bicycle. I try to imagine climbing a nearby hill just so I could see the beach and feel the wind on my face. Many times I would even dream about it. Unfortunately, unless time travel becomes a reality, all I can do is remember. I have always considered Singapore to be a very modern and futuristic city. I had never been to any place in Singapore where I could not see … [Read more...]

Universal Studios Singapore: Journey to the Movies

Movies! If there's one thing that I am so addicted to other than traveling, that has to be the movies. That's why Universal Studios in Singapore is my idea of wonderland! I just couldn't help but feel giddy in excitement as my mom and I made our way to Resorts World. Add the idea that my all time favorite TV show is Battlestar Galactica. Fraaaaak!!! Our plan for our Day 2 was simple: Explore Sentosa Island. And we're starting with Universal Studios. As early as 8am, we were already up and ready for our day of getting lost in the movies! Upon arrival, my mom and I immediately camwhored around the Universal Studios globe rotating just before the park's entrance. … [Read more...]

First Time on the Line at Zip City – Davao City, Philippines

A tourist enjoying Zip City

Before this Davao City tour, I had never tried any zip line. I guess I was chicken like that. After all, I am the Poor Traveler, not the Brave Traveler. But since Zip City is part of Airphil Express Davao Highland Adventure and since we were already there, it would really be a shame to not push through with it. So I mustered all the courage I had and gasped, "Suck it up and just do it." … [Read more...]

Dreams Come True at Disneyland Hong Kong

Fireworks display starts at 7pm! Don't miss it!

Disneyland was my childhood dream. But because my parents couldn't afford to take us to Micky Mouse's little world, I promised myself that I would fly to this place someday. Someday had finally come. It was the day we had all been waiting for. It was the reason my niece and nephew were with us on this trip. We wanted to give them what we didn't experience when we were little so we were so happy for them (and for ourselves, too, of course). It was all the kids were talking about from the moment we told them about it. And they couldn't contain their excitement when we were at the airport. … [Read more...]

Mitra’s Ranch and Baker’s Hill – Puerto Princesa, Palawan, Philippines

We started the Day 3 of our Puerto Princesa City Tour with a date with butterflies and crocodiles. After a stop at the Palawan Butterfly Garden and the Palawan Wildlife Rescue and Conservation Center, we still had four more stops to go to. Bear in mind that we traveled around on a tricycle with Kuya Ding leading us (P300 per tricycle for the whole tour, 09186620495). … [Read more...]
